Trump Says The 'Melania' Movie Is 'Selling Out, Fast'—But Is It?

  • On Saturday, Jan. 24, First Lady Melania Trump hosted a private White House screening, with a Trump-Kennedy Center premiere slated for Jan. 29 and an Amazon Prime release on Jan. 30.
  • After the 2024 election, Melania Trump launched Muse Films and pursued a documentary of the 20 days before the Jan. 20, 2025 inauguration, while Marc Beckman recommended Brett Ratner and secured a $40-million Amazon MGM Studios deal.
  • Brett Ratner, director and producer, has faced sexual-assault allegations dating to 2017, prompting agents and studios to sever ties, though Ratner and others disputed these claims.
  • Online critics noted sparse bookings and empty seats at screenings, with user Neetu Khandelwal writing only 2 tickets sold and Jamie Bonkiewicz reporting no sales in Omaha Monday.
  • Ratner's ties to wealthy backers like Len Blavatnik and Steven Mnuchin enabled access and financing, producing further Amazon projects including a three-part docuseries airing later this year.
